It may mean our brains are not currently equipped to understand the universe.

Aprox how much does something like this unit cost?

The more I use Claude Code the harder it is for me to believe this behavior is a byproduct of the model. Behavior = ridiculously token inefficiencies

I love the ## Why README section! Every repo should have one :-)

Sometimes it feels like Anthropic uses token processing as a throttling tool, to their advantage.

Who cares if it’s LLM written or assisted writing?

What matters is the content!

Still amazed how much fun it is to play a 36KB Stargate Defender!

Oh c’mon! Do you really believe we actually sent space probes ~15.0 billion miles from earth?

Next you’ll tell me that the message from humanity was read by someone later linked to Nazi-era activities (though not a confirmed war criminal in the legal sense).

The argument here is valid, if I read this correctly. Why can’t Apple simply allow your iPhone SIMPLY be just a transportable PC, that you can connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor and do anything else you can do with Echo or any Apple computer? [EDIT]Provided that some functionalities (the phone) be walled off for security.

New comment by hybrid_study in "Unix Isn't for Agents"

hybrid_study — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 17:06:51 +0000

This is kinda expected — OSes aren’t going to suddenly be rewritten for AI. What we’re really seeing is a hybrid model: hardware and kernel stay the same (primitives, isolation, scheduling), and on top of that you get an AI runtime / agent platform that handles task scheduling, shared state, and inter-agent coordination. Agents, tools, and workflows sit above that, orchestrating tasks. Deterministic programs remain because they’re cheaper, faster, and easier to verify; the AI layer just adds a structured way to coordinate and automate things without replacing the underlying OS. Basically, the kernel stays the substrate; the “agentic paradigm” lives above it.

Are markets so untamable that the only leverage is to become ultra-rich—and then act philanthropically? Incidentally, concentrated wealth lately looks less like stewardship and more like misanthropy.

I’m not sure that’s the key factor. Resource wealth helps, but it doesn’t automatically translate into shorter workweeks or generous leave. Countries with far fewer natural resources—such as Germany, the Netherlands, or Denmark—still manage shorter working hours, strong labor protections, and substantial paid vacation.

Those outcomes depend much more on labor policy, bargaining power, and what governments choose to protect. In many places, business pressure and media framing make long hours seem unavoidable, even though they’re ultimately the result of policy choices.

We can rationalize the newspaper business all we want, but WaPo's downward spiral started with what's been described as a "gutless order to kill a presidential endorsement 11 days" before the election. That's when many cancelled their subscription.

The people who think raids are pointless probably use TELNET instead of SSH :-)
